Hasselback fanned potatoes
For my strip steak, I wanted something fancier than my cottage fries that I had perfected. Iโve admired these adorable yet fancy looking fanned potatoes, called Hasselback potatoes which originated in Sweden. But I always assumed they will be difficult to make.
Actually not at all! They couldnโt be simpler or effortless.
All you need to do is make 1/4 inch slices into the potato without cutting all the way through, using a small serrated knife. Then itโs alternating between brushing in butter-oil-garlic mixture, oven, rebrushing, and oven again.
Thatโs it. And the result couldnโt be more tempting. Just try keeping these babies untouched till dinner. Better make extras.
